Nice episode. Looks like Saitama still doesn’t take the spotlights these episodes. It’s all about Garo and a random class S hero. I do like metal bat though, seems cool. Hopefully next episodes centers around the tournament Saitama is fighting in. Looking forward to it! |
 plz @ me |
| It's kinda annoying, but I guess they're gonna keep jumping back and forth between Garou and Saitama. |
"At some point, I stopped hoping." |
| after complaining about art and animation, people feel the need to complain about the sound now what are you gonna complain about next? that it should have aired on fridays? |
| I was kind of hoping to see the tournament this episode considering he was waiting in the room at the beginning of the episode. The episode was alright, but I want to see that tournament! |
| Metal Bat is super cool. |
 |
the animation was not bad, but in terms of designs and direction of anime art is really lazy, just compare   Jc staff It's one of the most boring studio I've seen for a long time. |
| Well, looks better but I still feel a meh reaction. |
| this episode felt somewhat off, liked the last one better need more Garou |
| just because I’ve gotten weaker, doesn’t mean that you got stronger, does it? |
| When you expect to finally see Saitama at the tournament, or at least some interesting fights, here we come with another half episode of this fucking GARO and his boring story, and the other half featuring a fight with the baseball bat guy that nobody cares of. Lovely. |

| Funny enough I just can't hate Garo, he seems nicer than what he let's on. I also dig Metal bat and damn I was surprised he could stand up after that blow, strong guy and expected from an S class hero. He sure is weak against his sister, which was hilarious BTw. I was more anxious about the tournament than anything else, I hope Saitama does fight Sourface in it. |

| Another episode and again my biggest gripe with it is the animation. Also I hope nothing bad happens to Metal Bat. |
 |
| Good episode, it was appreciable to discover another S Class we quickly met during the first season. But I gotta agree on the fact the sound was not at its best level. The sort of machinegun rounds to replace the bat hits... meh I've seen much more epic way of impressing a viewer. |

| Great!! Metal Bat vs Garo. Surprised they revealed Garo's backstory so easily. It'll be interesting to see how long will they animate the tournament arc. It should easily be done in just 3-4 episodes. |
| Boring episode and disappointed. |
| I keep moving forward |
| Shit load of stills once again. I guess there was no animation at all in the first five minutes. The CGI was decent but looked a bit out of place. Last week's ep was better. Let's just hope we get animation in next week's fights(?). |
 |
| Quality goes down with every episode. The only good thing was Watchdog Man. |
 |
| I'm here for the salt, And I'm sure you're too, my friend.. Metal Bat sure is cool though. |
 |
| Definitely not as good as episode 3. They're using more of that blurring effect shit like in episode 2 instead actually animating the individual blows and movements. But, I will say, the CGI wasn't half bad. It's not amazing or anything, but it could have looked WAY worse. I'm just hoping that they don't fuck up Garo vs Metal Bat because I really enjoyed that fight in the manga. |
 |
| hey that's some pretty good CGI wonder if it's some new tech at JC it's not that noticeable now if only every use of it look liked this we'd be one step closer to the arc system black magic episode and this arc is still ehhh... it's a thing this is were i fell off completely in the manga or the chapter after this |
 |
| This episode felt slower paced than normal OPM. Fight was decent. The damn dimmer for seizure prevention or whatever can be a bit much. We also had giant cgi centipedes which looked okay. I really figured we'd be doing the martial arts thing this ep, but looks like that will happen after the metal bat fight with Garou. Well I'm hopefully that will look good. |
| OK episode, not as entertaining as the previous one but still enjoyable. The centipede being in CGI was to be expected but it actually didn't look neither odd nor bad and it fitted well with the overall aesthetic of the show. Really looking forward to Garou vs. Metal Bat! |
| Pretty good episode. Metal Bat's fight sequences were quite nice. Hilarious how King rejected the association's plea for help. XD |
 |
| Well, that was incredibly underwhelming... A disappointment compared to what I fantasized this fight looking like before we ever got our first look at the anime. I got my hopes up after last episode's Tank top master vs Garou fight. And some of the character designs in this episode, metal bat, garou and the snobby rich kid looked kinda off. |
| Poor Metal can't catch a break. It's one monster after another. Saitama sweating was hilarious. Ending was hype! |
 |
| the animation is getting worse,I think I will give up on watching this after the next episode Also:   |

TsukuyomiREKT said: That blur effect is used for TV censorship against effects that can cause epileptic seizure (ever since that Pokemon Porygon incident). TV Tokyo's guidelines are listed here. Stuff like this will most likely be removed from the blu-ray releases. There's other shows that get affected by this guideline, including stuff like JoJo (which also has them removed from their blu-rays). There are other shows that dim the visuals instead, like MHA or the Fate stuff made by ufotable.They're using more of that blurring effect shit like in episode 2 instead actually animating the individual blows and movements. |

| Villains have ambitions too! Oh yeah! King too busy in a battle to be a bodyguard! These guys have never eaten in a sushi bar before? You gotta keep the plates with you to tally the cost! Watchdog Man! Based on Hachiko of course... Bat Man just doesn't go down. And now he has to deal with Garo. Hmm, so what do I say here... "The animation has not improved one bit! Did you see the fight with Centikohai and Centisenpai? So much shaky cam! And speaking of Centikohai, Centisenpai, and Centichoro, eww CGI! It looks terrible! The CGI ruined everything! I can't watch this anymore!" |
 |
| this arc is less interesting as well as manga that the only worthy thing is the art. |
| Really fun episode and it actually didn't look bad specially the cgi centipede. we got some Metal Bat action which was nice and also some Garo backstory. this episode had better pacing than the previous ones, if they keep it up we can end up getting an awesome season. |
| Barely anything happened during this episode, really. Sure, Metal Bat is cool, but it felt so dragged out that it was almost like I was watching a completely different show. |
 |
| Dayum metal bat is crazy strong!! |
 |
| Badass metal bat in action. Decent CGI for the EC, I expected something worse based on the OP, glad its better. Finally we got the root of Garou's monster idolizing backstory from when he was a kid, and when he was in the dojo, he felt like he's not growing at all. Seems like he's similar to Saitama but he's going to the path of villain, I'm very hype to see . |
 |
| The fact that there isn't much Saitama is actually better compared to S1. It's not that I don't like him, just the gag revolving about his opness. Dope episode overall and the CGI looked quite good. |

kater_tot said: I feel like this season really isn't that great... so far i'm disappointed. We've hardly seen Genos and Saitama at all. No where near the same level as season 1 I think Saitama just wasting Garo last week kind of spoiled it for me. I wanted that beatdown to be at the end of the season.. |
